I Attempted An Elite Smash Nuzlocke

even blue kirby for both

@@guthou2010 it's as they say; you can't beat Blue Kirby

[@PikaSwamps]

This was actually fun to watch, since it’s more pressure than usual and it forces you to play different characters (not just the same like 2 or 3). So definitely do this again.

[@CaptainCFalcon]

Ironically, he really only used the same 3 characters for most of this video lol. Kirby, Samus, & DK. The second he swapped off Samus he just got creamed losing 6 characters in a row lmao

[@GameXpert64]

4:14 Seeing Little Z get Meta Knighted was absolutely amazing and tragic to watch

[@poopoopeepee211]

dont tell him but I was secretly rooting for the meta knight 👀

[@MadWeegee]

Meta Knight is really showing us he's still good after Brawl

[@blender3935]

His up airs were literally doing 3 damage

[@seitanile]

Dude I’m just with him on the part after with that. Ryu and the automatic turnaround characters mechanic is bullshit when people just spam one move and the game assists them with it.

[@Jayiv863]

@@blender3935I noticed that too!

[@broshocker2194]

Little Z: I’m not going to say Ganon is a free win. Audience: He just said it.

[@grzmit5904]

every time he says that he always gets destroyed by a ganon lmfao

[@iantaakalla8180]

Maybe he should start saying “Ganon is a free loss” so that he always prevails against Ganon.

[@Brogor]

Who ever thought that Samus would be his best character, that’s why nuzlockes are amazing

[@mr.wildride1954]

Kirby's forward smash and down smash are great kill moves, especially on ledge. I main Kirby and King K Rool so you know that I'm a 100% experienced player that definitely didn't pick up two of the easiest characters to learn

[@VulcanW]

Alot of Kirby stuff kill at reasonable percents, Kirby's Dash attack, Sweet spot Nair, Bair and Dair spike kill well, I main Kirby (Secondary Greninja, Meta Knight and Pokemon Trainer) so I have alot of experience

[@massgunner4152]

Up smash, up throw, down b, dash attacks, sometimes hammer, anything but aerials basically

[@arcticjedimaster]

@@massgunner4152 Most of his aerials will kill more reliably than up throw

[@smoceany9478]

dont worry, i play pythra and lucina, your characters take some skill

[@rottenavocado7647]

So you like characters that suck up other characters?

[@PikaSwamps]

13:46 Never has Little Z been more hyped for Dark Samus lmao (though earned cause Samus was definitely MVP here saving your run for a good bit so Dark Samus basically gives him a Round 2).

[@inaneinacheve]

9:15 the funniest moment of the video The sheer rage over the Ken bullshit, with the music just after the kill screen really sold it

[@RushWheeler]

The Little Zamus is basically the Austrailian equivalent to Alpharad's Lightlocke Lucas.

[@superthunder5041]

Instead of "Gotta Catch 'Em All", Little Z turned his motto into "Gotta Lose 'Em All" when he swapped off Samus.

[@KeatonJoyce-b6y]

idc if i’m a year late this is the corniest thing i’ve ever seen

[@mandragonna]

Congrats to thumbnail’s artist, it turned out pretty well. Exactly like little Z’s sketch intentions

[@NokaiGaming]

thanks :)

As you can probably tell from my profile picture, i was so happy to see SAMUS of all people being the MVP of this run. 21:35 Also, the sheer heartbreak of losing Falco and then the FEAR of having to play the DK Byleth MU immediately after was priceless!

[@x-celsius5905]

I agree with the Samus thing! I used to main Samus in smash 4, when literally nobody cared about her (honestly sometimes I think that nobody cares now anyways), so to see a professional player win so well as Samus means a lot to me.

Just a heads up for those wondering; the music playing at around 10:20 in the video is Doctor's Mine from Team Sonic Racing. Decent tune imo

[@guthou2010]

10:10 this dude really made an Among Us Mii while having a tag with the name "Venoct" from Yo-kai Watch. Now I've seen everything

[@beardlessdragon]

It's cool to see that other people thought of this challenge and shared it! It's surprisingly hard. I find that the number of characters I can actually play well isn't large enough to win this challenge lol, but it's still really fun!

[@davidrosenberg9615]

I don't think this challenge winnable, practically speaking. Getting the last few characters is a statistical nightmare and you're sure to drop a single match with every character before you can find AND beat the last five.

[@beardlessdragon]

@@davidrosenberg9615 It depends on your rules. It might be nearly impossible from this vid, yeah. I made it more alike to Pokémon Nuzlockes where you go through a certain number of "routes" and Gyms to win rather than to trying to unlock the whole roster

[@loi_cy]

12:08, the meme is that the province highlighted is called Nunavut, which sounds similar to Little Z saying "None of it" in his weird little upside down people accent.

[@connergoldsborough4093]

This is such an awesome vid idea! Loved poppt1 and craw that was so fun. Also that Kirby music is boss.

[@Pigismal]

This video is living proof Samus can be hype and online samus's are just consistently the most annoying people to ever live-

[@angelgaldamez1812]

The fact that the amogus alien was the only thing that could take Samus down killed me

[@AKAProm]

Any Fighting Game Character does a sick combo, "SO LAME, AREN'T YOU TIRED OF THIS GAME YET?!?" Little Z does the same K. Rool combo he's done since the game's launch nearly 4 years ago, "OH BABY THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!!!" Never change Z

[@gloweyegaming7887]

[@absol1975]

Hey Z! I came up with an adjusted ruleset for the Elite a Smash Nuzlocke that brings out more in line with the Pokémon Nuzlocke rules. In Pokémon Nuzlockes, you get to pick your starter and only have one chance to catch a Pokémon per route, and there's a finite number of battles before you win. So here's my adjustments for that: 1. Pick any of the original 8 characters (Mario through Pikachu, excluding Dark Samus) as your starter. 2. If you lose to a character the FIRST time you encounter them, you add them to the "dead" column (you missed your chance), in addition to the character you were using who died. 3. If you beat a character on your first encounter, you add them to your roster, as normal. 4. After 100 wins, you win the Nuzlocke, regardless of the number of characters unlocked.

[@SNoodleJuJu]

I was there during the stream, and when I saw this video, I IMMEDIATELY recognized the Meta Knight fight.
